Lots of interesting fungi around the courses at the moment. I'm no expert, so struggle to identify most of what I find, but some are quite obvious. The most colourful and distinctive is probably the Fly Agaric, which grows in some numbers between the 4th green and 5th tee on the Red.

| Fly Agaric Amanita muscaria [4th Red] |
Also distinctive is the Shaggy Inkcap, this patch was growing behind the 11th tee on the Blue.
 |
| Shaggy Inkcap Coprinus comatus [11th Blue] |
This looks like a Field Mushroom or possibly a Horse Mushroom, growing on the 5th Red.
 |
| Field Mushroom Agaricus campestris [5th Red] |
Mosaic Puffballs are also quite common on the Red course. These two specimens, in different stages of growth were also on the 5th.
 |
| Mosaic Puffballs Lycoperdon utriforme [5th Red] |
I haven't seen any unusual birds recently, but it is interesting how many Lesser Black-backed Gulls fly over in the late evening in a V-formation - all heading in the same direction to roost at Farmoor reservoir.
